Point: Hateful people make life difficult (Perspective presented by 32-year-old Hal, a self-proclaimed advocate of homosexual rights)
Hateful people are everywhere. Of course, in public places, you kind of have to expect it. On Twitter, there are lots of alt-right accounts that say hateful things like "marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God," or "God invites us to repent and be better." This kind of talk is really just code for "we're homophobic" and "we don't accept you."
What really hurts is when the hate can reach you in places you thought were safe, like your home. Family and so-called friends pretend to accept you, but they're always demanding that you conform to their way of thinking... Even my mom was like "can you please be respectful of President Oaks? Calling him a nazi homophobe every two sentences is unkind." Of course, she says it because she hates me.
Even going to church, where they say that "everyone is welcome," I was asked by the gestapo church leaders to stop saying the F-word because it's offensive, even though they say words I find offensive like "standards" and "modesty."
People can be so hateful!

Hateful people are everywhere. Of course, in public places, you kind of have to expect it. On Twitter, there are lots of stupid accounts that say hateful things like "education is important," or "kids are disrespectful." This kind of talk is really just code for "we hate fun things" and "we don't accept kids."
What really hurts is when the hate can reach you in places you thought were safe, like your home. Family and so-called friends pretend to accept you, but they're always demanding that you conform to their way of thinking... Even my mom was like "can you please be respectful of your teacher? Calling him a snobby killjoy every two sentences is unkind." Of course, she says it because she hates me.
Even going to church, where they say that "everyone is welcome," I was asked by the gestapo church leaders to stop saying the F-word because it's offensive, even though they say words I find offensive like "reverence" and "obedience."
People can be so hateful!
